Lucky us. We were able to get a "hot spot", which I didn't even know what was, to use for general conference. The magic of modern technology. We listened to all of Saturday and the afternoon of Sunday. We didn't have a place for the Sunday a.m. because our "chapel" is used by other groups on Sunday morning. Here is a picture for your viewing enjoyment. Notice the flag, on the left, we are singing the intermediate hymn and on the right table is sacrament set for catholic service the next day. We really enjoyed conference and was particularly struck by the number of times we were counseled to sustain our leaders and to recognize the Holy Ghost in our lives.
We had our grandma and grandpa fix, by enjoying dinner with a family named Werner. He is a dentist on post and they have 5 children and the oldest is not yet 7. The baby is 6 weeks old and is not pictured.
We continue to teach early morning seminary. We are learning a lot. We have been discussing Moses and the children of Israel. It was amazing to learn that Moses was 80 years old when he went back to Egypt to start the plagues. They lasted 30 years. He was certainly no spring chicken to have that responsibility. At least Noah had a boat. Moses had to walk the whole way. Here is a picture of the last 1/2 mile of our journey to seminary.
There was an Advanced Individualized Training graduation this week. This picture is of one of our faithful grads. Brother VanWagoner and his wife. They are going to the Defense Language Institute where he will learn to speak Mandarin Chinese, I think. They are expecting their first child in December.
The bottom picture is Brother VanWagoner after a conference session and 3 of our new AIT soldiers. Brothers Williams and Miles and Sister Bybee. I think Brother Miles looks like our son, JD. We always serve lunch following meeting and this was after a conference session.
This week we had a zone meeting with another district of Elders and Sisters. They are always so well done. We have fabulous elders and sisters. Here is a picture. There are at least 2 elders and 1 sister that will be transferred on Tuesday. It's so hard to get a good picture and I am not a good photographer. But here's at least an idea of some missionaries.
Life is Good!
